Poetics of Tension: The Representations of Time in Abd Yagouth al-Harthy’s Poem (in Arabic).
Auther : Yousef M. Oleimat
This study aims at providing a new vision to the poem by the Jahili poet, Abd Yagouth al-Harthy starting with the poetics of the text itself and relying on a fundamental vision which supports the idea that those poetics can be a source of generating cultural contexts imbedded within the language.
The study framed this vision into two parts:
The first part: a theoretical perspective which lays the basis for the concept of poetics and its conceptual prospects in modern critical studies. Moreover, the researcher studies these concepts’ connection with intellectual, ideological, and epistemological systems in post-modern criticism.
The second part: an empirical study, in which Abd Yagouth al-Harthy’s poem is described as a text that pulsates with tension stimulated by the representations the poet makes of the issue of time, which is based on his tragic experience in captivity. This experience signifies the following sayings: tensions of expression and quiet, or the time of the self-reproaching soul, and intersections of the self with the tribe: the darkness circles. It also signifies the idea of the captivated self: the body and the philosophy of punishment, the rituals of the female, oppression, and the effective being: lament over grace and loss.
